 | Perry Clanton @paclanton Lurking - Hello everyone! #obsm |
 | Nina Crowley PhD RDN @PsychoDietitian @obsmchat Hi #obsm friends! Checking in from Charleston SC! |
| Dr. Rachel @AskDr_Rachel Q1. I think one of the keys is to have a plan, and that plan should include not skipping meals and eating regularly throughout the day. #obsm #healthyholidays #planning #health @obsmchat |
| Paul Davidson, PhD @PaulDavidsonPhD I think it's always helpful to plan ahead, bring something that you know you can eat, have something before going to a social event so you're less tempted, and make adaptations of holiday meals or snacks that are healthy. #obsm |
| Dr. Kasey Goodpaster @DrGoodpaster 🚫Skip meals before 🥗Bring a tasty+healthy meal to share 🍽Use a small plate 🥧Plan in advance which treat you enjoy the most & savor it without guilt 💭Mentally rehearse how to respond to food pushers & policers #obsm |

| Michelle Vicari @Eggface @obsmchat If it's the type of party you can bring something. Bring something you love that's healthy and share it. People are usually thankful for the break from the sugar/carb overload of party food. #obsm |
| Marilyn Clark @OffThePlateMC I am going to admit that I opted out of family thanksgiving as an act of self care. But otherwise I recommend bringing something that you can eat so you know there will be at least one healthy choice. #obsm |
| Neil Floch MD @flochman If you believe food options are not going to be good, you may want to eat the majority of your meal before so that you don’t go very hungry #obsm |

| iamabariatricpatient @JeanineMSherman @obsmchat A1) One tip when eatting at social gatherings this holiday, if the food is presented as an all you can eat smorgasbord try not to linger by the tables. Hold a glass of water. This may help grazing. #obsm |
| Nina Crowley PhD RDN @PsychoDietitian @obsmchat A1 #obsm - my best tip is to make and bring something you are excited about and that you’re feeling good about so you can have what you like and want and if it’s on the healthy side that’s a bonus ;) |

| Arghavan Salles, MD, PhD @arghavan_salles Hi, folks! A little late and multi-tasking but here for a quick check-in. Happy holidays! #obsm |
 | Dr Theresa Cullen @DrTerriC @obsmchat A1. Bring something to share that is “safe”. #obsm #obsmchat |
| Bruce Y. Lee @bruce_y_lee @obsmchat #obsm 5. Eating health options before or bringing them to Holiday Parties 6. Asking the organizers of parties to see if they are willing to provide healthy options. |

| Marilyn Clark @OffThePlateMC I also bring my dogs to occupy my time and entertain people away from the food. #obsm |
| Dr. Kasey Goodpaster @DrGoodpaster You can follow the healthy plate method in most social situations; fill up on protein & veggies first. For the 1/4 plate of carbs, pick 1 treat you love the most & savor it. Avoid alcohol—empty calories & the best laid plans will fall by the wayside with lowered inhibitions.#obsm |
| Nina Crowley PhD RDN @PsychoDietitian @OffThePlateMC @Macskakat7 Just heard that term this week and I love my #accountabillibuddy @DebbiePetitpain #obsm |
 | reallyrosy @reallyrosie @obsmchat #obsm hi all rosy here from ( Soon to be melted) CT. |
| Neil Floch MD @flochman Migrate toward the healthy foods such as vegetables, proteins and whole grains...avoid the chips and cake - so easily said but set your own ground rules and follow #obsm |
| Arghavan Salles, MD, PhD @arghavan_salles A1: this can be challenging since so much of the holidays are centered on food, but focusing on non-food activities can help. #obsm |
| Heather 🇺🇸 @ZHeatherChamp @obsmchat A2: I have a party next Sat. I still haven’t had a soda since surgery and I don’t plan to. Would love any ideas for food! #obsm |
| Neil Floch MD @flochman RT @AskDr_Rachel: @OffThePlateMC I actually have heard of many people doing that this year. It is part of #selfcare .Good for you! #obsm |
| Mary L @Macskakat7 Stick to protein choices... #obsm |
| Neil Floch MD @flochman RT @bruce_y_lee: @obsmchat #obsm 4. Enlisting friends to help each other maintain healthy habits and choices. |
| Go Hawks @DMBariatrics @obsmchat #obsm try eating a healthy meal or at least a protein shake before arriving. Indulge in small samples of the holiday treats guilt-free but no seconds! # |
| Paul Davidson, PhD @PaulDavidsonPhD Most party foods with high protein and low fat/carbs can be healthy choices. Shrimp, chicken skewers, nuts, some cheese, flavored waters, yogurt based dips with crudites are all great choices. #obsm |
| Dr. Rachel @AskDr_Rachel This is a big one! So many people dont realize how fast those alcoholic beverages start adding up. I tend to recommend to my clients to have water in between each alcoholic beverage, if they are going to drink alcohol. #obsm |

| Mary L @Macskakat7 #obsm Guilt free is a difficult achievement... |
| Dr. Rachel @AskDr_Rachel @ZHeatherChamp It can be so difficult, but how about seeing what triggers you to want that chocolate AND if you really want the chocolate, then just have a little bit and be okay with it :) #obsm |

| iamabariatricpatient @JeanineMSherman @obsmchat A2) best food choices for me during social gatherings include nuts, variety of cheeses, fruits and veggies are typically displayed in a fun way at holiday gatherings. I also look for meat choices. Always water from a wine glass garnished w fruit keeps me feeling festive. #obsm |
| Marilyn Clark @OffThePlateMC @AskDr_Rachel Alcohol is the gateway to dessert. Thankfully I stopped drinking 4 years ago! #obsm |
| Arghavan Salles, MD, PhD @arghavan_salles I think @DrGoodpaster already mentioned it, but important not to starve all day so you’re not overly hungry. #obsm |

 | Anita @ams8174 @obsmchat Best beverage options would be water with lemon or fruit, a low caloric alcohol, or a sugar free/diet beverage (even though that has its own set of issues). Best food options would be a source high in protein, like cheese and meats. #obsm |

| Dr Theresa Cullen @DrTerriC A2. Probably won’t be a popular response but don’t repeat the punishing denial cycle. No Food is inherently bad. Have a bite of pumpkin pie to feel part of the day. Denial can lead to being waaaaay off track. #obsm |

| Dr. Rachel @AskDr_Rachel I think the best option is something that you are going to eat and feel good about. I tend to fill my plate with protein and veggies. I often make a salad or "bowl" out of whatever protein and veggie options there are. #obsm |
| Neil Floch MD @flochman Veggies and protein first. And drink that water ....add a lemon or lime. #obsm |

| Neil Floch MD @flochman RT @ams8174: @obsmchat Best beverage options would be water with lemon or fruit, a low caloric alcohol, or a sugar free/diet beverage (even though that has its own set of issues). Best food options would be a source high in protein, like cheese and meats. #obsm |

| Neil Floch MD @NeilFlochMD RT @PaulDavidsonPhD: I think it's always helpful to plan ahead, bring something that you know you can eat, have something before going to a social event so you're less tempted, and make adaptations of holiday meals or snacks that are healthy. #obsm |
| Neil Floch MD @NeilFlochMD RT @PsychoDietitian: @DrGoodpaster yessss to 💭Mentally rehearse how to respond to food pushers & policers #obsm it helps to make that a practice a habit! |
| Arghavan Salles, MD, PhD @arghavan_salles RT @DrGoodpaster: ☑️Identify barriers & brainstorm strategies in advance (“What challenging situations do you foresee between now & the next visit?”) ☑️Encourage patients to increase frequency of visits over the winter months for added support & accountability. #obsm |

| Dr. Rachel @AskDr_Rachel Q4. The first step is to bring workout gear! I dont go anywhere without gym clothes and running shoes. We tend to enjoy exploring new cities or new areas by walking, running,or even finding bike tours. There are also great apps that you can do "home workouts" in your hotel. #obsm |

| Anita @ams8174 @AskDr_Rachel For me avoiding family relieves stress but then I become depressed and lonely. So either way I’m having a tough time with holidays and get tempted not to make the best food choices. It is a viscous cycle. Being aware and planning is helpful for me. #obsm |

| Marilyn Clark @OffThePlateMC We are planning games and a white elephant for our big family party. So much food too but plenty of activity for distraction. #obsm |
| #obsm chat @obsmchat RT @DMBariatrics: @obsmchat Tough one! Sometimes it’s best to change the goal from losing weight to maintain what you lost earlier in the year, then start again later. I always tell my patients to be gentle with themselves, don’t expect perfection. Just try to do your best each day #obsm |
| #obsm chat @obsmchat RT @PsychoDietitian: @obsmchat As a kid we used to do”nature walks” and collect stuff from where we were... now I’m doing that again with my daughter to make crafts or save stuff when we travel is fun! #obsm |

 | Cecilia Arteaga @CeciliaArteag RT @Eggface: @obsmchat Remember it's OK to say "No, thank you" to food or events without guilt. It's not your job to make everyone happy and certainly not at your health's expense #obsm |

| ASMBS @ASMBS RT @PaulDavidsonPhD: Reducing stress often happens when you have realistic rather than idealized expectations. Taking time to focus on the important things...family...faith...friends rather than food and gifts. Always useful to take the time to breath and get outside a bit and enjoy nature. #obsm |
| Marilyn Clark @OffThePlateMC I tried to make cauliflower kugel and I though my grandmother was going to come back from the beyond to slap me! #obsm |
| ASMBS @ASMBS RT @flochman: Listen first, ask what worries the patient most in the holiday season and then help them to elucidate their potential issues so they may be addressed prior to becoming a problem #obsm |
| ASMBS @ASMBS RT @DrGoodpaster: You can follow the healthy plate method in most social situations; fill up on protein & veggies first. For the 1/4 plate of carbs, pick 1 treat you love the most & savor it. Avoid alcohol—empty calories & the best laid plans will fall by the wayside with lowered inhibitions.#obsm |

| ASMBS @ASMBS RT @PaulDavidsonPhD: Q3. Great for healthcare providers to be as accessible as possible during the holidays, help people realize that you don't have to be perfect, and that you can enjoy food more than usual without guilt. You can always be more careful before and after, and increase exercise. #obsm |

| reallyrosy @reallyrosie @NeilFlochMD Exactly! I have many triggers with different foods and that makes partying very hazardous because if I don't eat them at the party, I feel SO deprived that I will crave whatever I dismissed, for days on end. #obsm |

| reallyrosy @reallyrosie @NeilFlochMD #obsm when I first had the surgery I learned another mantra "no dried fruit" and them I went to a mindfulness group at the JCC.
